An Open Letter to Wine Makers.

GENTLEMEN: Believing that you are
not lnsensiblo t. the best interests of
mankind, and recognizing the great and
growing wine interests of this State, and
also tho great Temperance army, who
need some pleasant unalcoholic drink as
beverage and for tho table, / seek to
bring this want and supply together.
And Tor this purpose L ask You to put up
some unfermcntcd winc-that is the pure
juice OF the grapc-having no deleterious
substance i'll it. You are the proper per-
sons to experiment in this direction. L
presume to ask this of you on the ground
of your common humanity, and also as
IL financial venture. The thing sought
will certainly be fOund--demand and
supply always keep company. Suppose
you try some Of the methods already in
use by private families until some better
ways are found to preserve tho juice
from fermentation. One Of these
methods is by pasteuring; that is, heat
ing to destroy the germs which cause
fermentation, and liltcring or straining.
First cheat to 100 degrees, keeping it at
tins temperature for some timo, then
carefully 1iltering or straining, and again
heating to 100 degrees, before bottling.
1t must be put in the bottles hot. The
bottles may be washed out with q
Salicylic solution to make sure of killing
all the germs. The cOrks must be Gaze
fully disinfectod, as it is they that COM
monty start the trouble inside. When
putting them in the bottle take the corks
out of q hot sahcyhc solution" No
Salicylic acid or othor injurious substance
must be put in the wine, as this would
defeat tho object of this enterprise-a
pleasant, healthy drink. The reward
offered to him who shall discover the
best method Of preserving unfermented
wine is a fortune to himself and the ever
lasting blessing of mankind. ~

Word OF Warming.

The Rome (Ga.) Courier, commenting
upon the GLOWING reports of great
spcculations i'll real estate in several OF
the cities of Alabama and Tennessee" "
takes occasion to say: "It should be
borne in mind that the blooms in the
other cities to which we allude are based
solely upon their prospects of getting
large iron industries, and that the pres
cnt buoyancy of the iron trade is due to
an extraordinary demand and sharp adj
vance IN prices, caused chilly by great
activity IN railroad building. 1t is hard
ly necessary to remind our people of the
precarlous tenure of this boom They
nave fresh III their memories tho vicissi-
tndGs OF the iron business during the Inst
hiteen OF twenty years. They have seen

Works, once tlOurishing and Prosperous.

Tor IRON and great fall in its price, and
they know that many other plants of the
same KIND, both in the South and the
hOrth, have had either to close or great
ly to curtall operations for the same
cause. Cities dependent upon this one
business for their prosperity and growth
must needs hold their own or decline
according to the fortunes of this busi-
ness, and their own lots and noighbor-
ing real estate must fall or rise in price
with the business that gives them their
value. If the great land companies that
arc selling Cor perhaps we ought to say
arc Offering to SELF their lots at such eX-
traya80nt prices really mean to establish
the furnaces and other iron works that
arc talked about, this will maintain the
price Of property as long as the boom

working up al imitation 50 as to sell of
their real estate at enormous profits and
intend then to leave the purchasers to
shift for themselves, the drop will antici-
pate tho decline in the iron trade"

Tea as Il Beverage.

Use a china or porcelain pot. if you
do use metal, let it be tin, new, bright
and clean; never use it when the tin is
worn out and iron exposed. If you do,

boil it. Place one tCaSpoonful Of tea in
the pot and pour on 1t Il cups of boiling
water, that is, water really boiling. If
your tea is poor, use more. 1t is cheaper,
though, to buy good tea at the outset
Put your pot on the back part of the

not lose it's heat, and the tea it's bouquet
Let it remain there five minutes, then

Hotel Keeping.

Some curious statistics have recently
appeared respecting the results of hotel
keeping IL Switzerland. There is prob
ably no district III the world which is so
much Of u pleasure resort as this little
republic, and the amount of money in
vested in providing living accommoda-
tiOns for pleasure seekers, is probably
much larger there than any Thero else.
There are said to DO nearly l,OJ2 hotels,
rs distinguished from inns and tagerns,
these giving employment to 10000 SER.

$50. OOO, 900, while the furniture is Walt ed
Gt SIS, 600, 600. Tho gross annual In
come, based upon the average of che
last few years, is $l0,6O0,000, the ex-
penses 81, 200, 900, leaving netproft of
33, 400, 900, which is not largo gain,
considering the sum Of money Invested.
1t would be interesting if statistics of q
similar character could be cole cted of

we imagine these returns would show

The steamer Victoria was not the only
unfortunate vessel that encountered the
severe storm in the Western Ocean and
had to put back for repairs before reach
ing this port. In conversation with q
gentleman who has had considerable Of
life on the ocean waves, he gavc har-
rowing description of the experience of
the steamer Darlington in the same vio-
lent storm that disabled the Victoria and
crippled three of her crew. On the day
of the typhoon high waves rolled the
ship as if it were but cork on the sur
face. Ii was impossible for the men to
keep their feet, and all who could took
refuge in their hunks. The sails were
blown away. All the dishes and cooking
utensils were broken and destroyed.
There were three feet Of water in the
cabins and the stores and provision were
mostly injured or washed out. The
wheel gear, the chocks and lower bridge
deck were washed away and the star
board light smashed in. The forecastlc
was carried away and the men had to
stay in the sail lockers. 1t was simply
rislling ones to go forward or to be on
deck. Several OF the 1ircmcn and sailors
were disabled, but none seriously in.
jured. In the Judgment Of the officers
on board the Darlington would nevel
have weathcrcd the storm if she had
been heavily laden. The relief men bid
each other goodbye i'll separating, and
the staunchest and oldest seamcn wore
blanched faces and resigned themselves
to the morcies of Providence. The scri-
Gus and frightful pant of the .oyago was
over. The wind had subsidized and the
waves We're lcVelcd, but other disagree
able conditions prevailed on board.
1t was on Christmas day that all desired

nivcrsNry. Dishes and utensils lad been
broken and mashed, and while there
were considerable provisions in condi-
ton to use there were no facilities for
cooking them. The condition of affairs
called into requisition the genius of
Captain William Smith, the chief en-
ginccr, and the first mate, who set to
work to improvisc vessel in which to
prepare a Christmas pudding. They
secured two pieces Of broken pans and
bound them closely with copper wire
and closed the seams with flour paste so
that it would hold water tolcrably well.
BY this means all hands were treated to
a very good dinner.

At ten o'clock on Thursday evening
Johanna Brewer, domestic in the family
OF Dr. Emil Truening, No. 13 east Eighty
third street, heard q suspicious noise in
the dining room, and entering, saw in
tho dim light that came from gas lamp
in the street, the figure of man crouch
ing behind the table. Johanna was alone
III the house, SO he ran into the street
making an outcry that attracted two
colored men who were passing ut the
time. The mon ran into tho house, Sc
cured the intruder in chair, and one of
them stood guard over him while the
other went i'll search Of policeman.
That worthy arrived full of importance
ut being called to arrest burglar, and
! produced his handouts to shackle the
prisoner, when he discovered that he
had no hands, both having been ampu-
tatcd close to the wrists.
At tho Eighty eighth street police
station the man gave his name as John
Murphy, and said that being homeless
and hungry, he had found tho basement
door of the house open and had gone in
to ask for shelter and food.
In the Harlem Court Friday, Justice
Wcldo sent the unfortunate man to the
care Of the Commissioners of Charities
and Correction, refusing to entertain o
charge OF burglary against man with

Attacking; the CiNil service Commission.

Something like n sensation WAS @&;iaCI
IN the District Supreme Court in the

all persons from exercising the Illegal
and unconstitutional powers set forth,
and such other and further redress as
